[            ], 20[ ] (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, this “Agreement”), by and among SANTANDER DRIVE AUTO
RECEIVABLES TRUST 20[ ]-[ ], a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer”), SANTANDER DRIVE AUTO RECEIVABLES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (the “Seller”), SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., an Illinois

ARTICLE II 
 CONVEYANCE
OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS 
 SECTION 2.1 Conveyance of Transferred Assets. In consideration of the Issuer’s sale and
delivery to, or upon the order of, the Seller of all of the Notes and the Certificate on the Closing Date, the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer without recourse (subject to the obligations
herein) all right, title and interest of the Seller, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Transferred Assets, as evidenced by an Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A delivered on the Closing Date. The
sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller or the applicable Originator to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person
in connection with the Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto. 

SECTION 2.2 Custody of Receivable Files. 

(a) Custody. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby revocably appoint the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the Receivable Files, which are hereby or will hereby be constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or its agent or designee), as pledgee of the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture. “Receivable
File” means, with respect to each Receivable, the following documents or instruments (but only to the extent applicable to such Receivable), which may be held in tangible paper form or electronic form: 

 

	 	(i)	the fully executed original, electronically authenticated original or authoritative copy of the Contract (in each case within the meaning of the UCC) related to such Receivable, including any written amendments or
extensions thereto; 

  

	 	(ii)	the original Certificate of Title or, if not yet received, evidence that an application therefor has been submitted with the appropriate authority, a guaranty of title from a Dealer or such other document (electronic or
otherwise, as used in the applicable jurisdiction) that the Servicer keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, evidencing the security interest of the applicable Originator in the Financed Vehicle; provided,
however, that in lieu of being held in the Receivable File, the Certificate of Title may be held by a third party service provider engaged by the Servicer to obtain and/or hold Certificates of Title; and 


  

					
		 	2	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])










	 	(iii)	any and all other documents that the Servicer or the Seller keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, relating to a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. 


(b) Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. The Servicer will promptly report to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any failure on
its part to hold a material portion of the Receivable Files or to maintain its accounts, records, and computer systems as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein will be deemed to require
an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files. The Servicer may, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, (i) maintain all or a portion of the Receivable Files in electronic
form and (ii) maintain custody of all or any portion of the Receivable Files with one or more of its agents or designees. 
 (c)
Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer will maintain each Receivable File in the United States (it being understood that the Receivable Files, or any part thereof, may be maintained at the offices of any Person to whom the
Servicer has delegated responsibilities in accordance with Section 6.5). The Servicer will make available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the
Receivable Files upon request. The Servicer will provide access to the Receivable Files, and the related accounts records, and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee direct, but only upon
reasonable notice and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. 
 (d) Release of Documents. Upon
written instructions from the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer will release or cause to be released any document in the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the
case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any document so released will be handled by the Indenture Trustee with due care and returned to the Servicer for safekeeping as soon
as the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee, as the case may be, has no further need therefor. 
 (e) Instructions; Authority to
Act. All instructions from the Indenture Trustee will be in writing and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee, and the Servicer will be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its
receipt of such written instructions. 
 (f) Custodian’s Indemnification. Subject to Section 6.2, the Servicer as
custodian will indemnify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs, or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer as custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer as custodian
will not be liable (i) to the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of contract or negligence of the Indenture Trustee


  

					
		 	3	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
or the Issuer, respectively, or (ii) to the Indenture Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from the failure of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or
the Indenture Trustee’s designee to handle with due care any Certificate of Title or other document released to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee pursuant to
Section 2.4(d). 
 (g) Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian will become
effective as of the Cut-Off Date and will continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If Santander Consumer resigns as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer have been terminated under Section 7.1, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder may be terminated by the Indenture Trustee, or by the Noteholders of Notes
evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 7.1. As soon as
practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee (or, at the direction of the Indenture Trustee, to its agent) the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the
Servicer at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate. 
 ARTICLE III 

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF 

RECEIVABLES AND TRUST PROPERTY 

SECTION 3.1 Duties of Servicer. 

(a) The Servicer is hereby appointed by the Issuer and authorized to act as agent for the Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service,
administer and make collections on the Receivables, and perform the other actions required by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Receivables will be carried out in accordance with its Customary Servicing
Practices, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer’s duties will include collection and posting of all
payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending invoices or payment coupons to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, accounting for Collections and furnishing monthly
and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and performing the other duties specified herein. The Servicer is not required under the Transaction Documents to make any disbursements via wire transfer or otherwise on
behalf of an Obligor. There are no requirements under the Receivables or the Transaction Documents for funds to be, and funds shall not be, held in trust for an Obligor. No payments or disbursements shall be made by the Servicer on behalf of the
Obligor. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set forth herein. 

(b) The Servicer will follow its Customary Servicing Practices and will have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection
with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the 

  

					
		 	4	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders,
the Certificateholders, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such
Receivables. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable or an Insurance Policy or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding (including a
bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor, a Financed Vehicle or an Insurance Policy. If the Servicer commences a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable or an Insurance Policy, the Issuer will thereupon be deemed to
have automatically assigned such Receivable or its rights under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by
the Issuer to execute and deliver in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it
is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable or Insurance Policy on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable or Insurance Policy, the Issuer will, at the Servicer’s expense and
direction, take steps to enforce the Receivable or Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer will furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary
or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense, will obtain on behalf of the Issuer all licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be held by the
Issuer in connection with ownership of the Receivables, and will make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term hereof. 

(c) The Servicer hereby agrees that upon its resignation and the appointment of a successor Servicer hereunder, the Servicer will terminate
its activities as Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.1, and, in any case, in a manner which the Indenture Trustee reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to such successor
Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such successor Servicer. 
 SECTION 3.2 Collection of Receivable
Payments. 
 (a) The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Receivables as and when the same become due in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. Subject to Section 3.5, the Servicer may grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments with respect to any
Receivable in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices; provided, however, that if the Servicer (i) extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period
immediately prior to the Class E Final Scheduled Payment Date, (ii) reduces the Contract Rate with respect to any Receivable other than as required by applicable law (including, without limitation, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) or court
order or (iii) reduces the Principal Balance with respect to any Receivable other than (A) as required by applicable law, (B) in connection with a settlement in the event the Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable or (C) in
connection with a Cram Down Loss relating to such Receivable, it will promptly purchase such Receivable in the manner provided in Section 3.6. The Servicer 

  

					
		 	5	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. The Servicer shall not be required to make any
advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions. Payments on the Receivables, including payoffs, made in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables, shall be posted to the Servicer’s
Obligor records in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices. Such payments shall be allocated to principal, interest or other items in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables. 

(b) Subject to the proviso of the second sentence of Section 3.2(a), the Servicer and its Affiliates may engage in any marketing
practice or promotion or any sale of any products, goods or services to Obligors with respect to the Receivables so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to obligors of comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer
for itself and others, whether or not such practices, promotions or sales might result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepayments or faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable and deposit the full outstanding
Principal Balance of such Receivable into the Collection Account. The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer. The Servicer and its Affiliates may also sell insurance or debt cancellation products, including
products which result in the cancellation of some or all of the amount of a Receivable upon the death or disability of the Obligor or any casualty with respect to the Financed Vehicle. 

(d) Records documenting collection efforts shall be maintained during the period a Receivable is delinquent in accordance with the
Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices. Such records shall be maintained on at least a periodic basis that is not less frequent than as prescribed by the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices, and describe the entity’s activities
in monitoring delinquent pool assets including, for example, phone calls, letters and payment rescheduling plans in cases where delinquency is deemed temporary (e.g., illness or unemployment) in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary
Servicing Practices. 
 (e) The Servicer shall not be required to maintain a fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy. 

SECTION 3.3 Repossession of Financed Vehicles. On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts,
consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of and liquidate the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer has determined eventual payment in full is unlikely; provided,
however, that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle if in its sole discretion it determines that repossession will not increase the amounts described in clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Liquidation Proceeds
by an amount greater than the expense of such repossession or that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance. The Servicer is authorized as it deems necessary or advisable, consistent with
its Customary Servicing Practices, to make reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to any Dealer and to sell the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The foregoing will be subject to the provision that, in any case in which
the Financed Vehicle has suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend funds in 

  

					
		 	6	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it determines in its sole discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the amounts described in
clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Financed Vehicle by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer, in its sole discretion, may in accordance with its Customary
Servicing Practices sell any Receivable’s deficiency balance. Net proceeds of any such sale allocable to the Receivable will constitute Liquidation Proceeds, and the sole right of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with respect to any such
sold Receivables will be to receive such Liquidation Proceeds. Upon such sale, the Servicer will mark its computer records indicating that any such receivable sold is no longer a Receivable. The Servicer is authorized to take any and all actions
necessary or appropriate on behalf of the Issuer to evidence the sale of the Receivable free from any Lien or other interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. 

SECTION 3.4 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer will, in accordance with its Customary
Servicing Practices, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The provisions set forth in this Section are the sole requirements under the
Transaction Documents with respect to the maintenance of collateral or security on the Receivables. It is understood that the Financed Vehicles are the collateral and security for the Receivables, but that the Certificate of Title with respect to a
Financed Vehicle does not constitute collateral and merely evidences such security interest. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. 
 SECTION 3.5 Covenants of Servicer.
Unless required by law or court order, the Servicer will not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except (i) in the event of payment in full by or on
behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, (ii) in connection with repossession or (iii) as may be required by

possible and practicable through application of funds available in the Swap Termination Payment Account unless entering into such Replacement Interest Rate Swap Agreement will cause the Rating Agency Condition not to be satisfied. 

(d) To the extent that (i) the funds available in the Swap Termination Payment Account exceed the costs of entering into a Replacement
Interest Rate Swap Agreement or (ii) the Issuer determines not to replace the Initial Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Rating Agency Condition is met with respect to such determination, the amounts in the Swap Termination Payment Account
(other than funds used to pay the costs of entering into a Replacement Interest Rate Swap Agreement, if applicable) shall be included in Available Funds and allocated in accordance with the order of priority specified in Section 4.4(a)
on the following Payment Date. In any other situation, amounts on deposit in the Swap Termination Payment Account at any time shall be invested pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and on each Payment Date after the creation of a Swap Termination
Payment Account, the funds therein shall be used to cover any shortfalls in the amounts payable under clauses first through [twelfth] under Section 4.4(a), provided, that in no event will the amount withdrawn
from the Swap Termination Payment Account on such Payment Date exceed the amount of Net Swap Receipts that would have been required to be paid on such Payment Date under the terminated Interest Rate Swap Transaction had there been no termination of
such transaction. Any amounts remaining in the Swap Termination Payment Account after payment in full of the latest maturing class of floating-rate Notes shall be included in Available Funds and allocated in accordance with the order of priority
specified in Section 4.4(a) on the following Payment Date. 
 (e) If the Swap Counterparty is required to post collateral under
the terms of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, upon written direction and notification of such requirement the Indenture Trustee shall establish the Swap Collateral Account (the “Swap Collateral Account”) over which the Indenture
Trustee shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal, and in which no Person other than the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparty and the Noteholders shall have any legal or beneficial interest. The Indenture Trustee shall
deposit all collateral received from the Swap Counterparty under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement into the Swap Collateral Account. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Swap Collateral Account shall be held
in trust by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Swap Counterparty and the Noteholders. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Swap Collateral Account shall be
(i) for application to obligations of the Swap Counterparty to the Issuer under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement or (ii) to return collateral to the Swap Counterparty when
and as required by the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

 (f) If at any time the Interest Rate Swap Agreement becomes subject to early termination due to
the occurrence of an “Event of Default” or “Termination Event” (as defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement), the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall use reasonable efforts (following the expiration of any applicable grace
period) to enforce the rights of the Issuer thereunder as may be permitted by the terms of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and consistent with the terms hereof. To the extent not fully paid from Swap Replacement Proceeds, any Swap Termination
Payment owed by the Issuer to the Swap Counterparty under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement shall be payable to the Swap Counterparty in installments made on each following Payment Date until paid in full in accordance with the order of priority
specified in Section 4.4(a). To the extent that the Swap Replacement Proceeds exceed any such Swap Termination Payments (or if there are no Swap Termination Payments due to the Swap Counterparty), the Swap Replacement Proceeds in excess
of such Swap Termination Payments, if any, shall be included in Available Funds and allocated and applied in accordance with the order of priority specified in Section 4.4(a) on the following Payment Date.] 

ARTICLE V 
 THE SELLER

 SECTION 5.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. The Seller makes the following representations and warranties as
of the Closing Date on which the Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the Transferred
Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture: 
 (a) Existence and
Power. The Seller is a Delaware limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate its business as
presently owned or operated, and to execute, to deliver and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The Seller has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do
so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets. 

(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Seller and do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (ii) its organizational
documents or (iii) any indenture or agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, indentures, agreements or instruments which do not affect
the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by, or the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations
under, the Transaction Documents). 

  

					
		 	20	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 (c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any Governmental
Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that
have previously been made and (iii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred
Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 

(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of limited liability companies from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity. 

(e) Lien Filings. The Seller is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Seller. 

(f) No Proceedings. There are no actions, orders, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller,
threatened against the Seller before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations
under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the collectability or enforceability of the Receivables, or (iv) relate to the Seller that would materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income,
excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes. 
 (g) Investment Company Act. The Seller is not an “investment
company” that is registered or required to be registered under, or otherwise subject to the restrictions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

(h) Assignment. The Receivables and the other Transferred Assets have been validly assigned by the Seller to the Issuer. 

(i) Security Interests. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller
that includes a description of collateral covering any Receivable other than any financing statement relating to security interests granted under the Transaction Documents or that have been or, prior to the assignment of such Receivables hereunder,
will be terminated, amended or released. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest in the Receivables (other than the Related Security with respect thereto, to the extent that an ownership interest therein cannot be perfected
by the filing of a financing statement) in favor of the Issuer which security interest is prior to all other Liens (other 

  

					
		 	21	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
than Permitted Liens) and is enforceable as such against all other creditors of and purchasers and assignees from the Seller. 

(j) Creation, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests. The representations and warranties regarding creation, perfection and
priority of security interests in the Transferred Assets, which are attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B, are true and correct to the extent that they are applicable. 

SECTION 5.2 Liability of Seller; Indemnities. The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the following: 
 (a) The Seller shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (including when performing its duties as Relevant Trustee) from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Seller’s violation
of federal or State securities laws in connection with the registration or the sale of the Notes. 
 (b) Indemnification under this
Section 5.2 will survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and the termination of this Agreement and will include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
litigation. If the Seller has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 5.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person will promptly repay
such amounts to the Seller, without interest. 
 (c) The Seller’s obligations under this Section 5.2 are obligations solely
of the Seller and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Seller does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the Issuer, the Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements
and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such
interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any
successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other
Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and liabilities, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are
entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under
applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a subordination
agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee each further acknowledges and 

  

					
		 	22	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 5.2(c) and the terms of this Section 5.2(c) may be enforced by an action for specific
performance. The provisions of this Section 5.2(c) will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 5.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller. Any entity (i) into which the Seller
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, to which it may sell or transfer its business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole or any entity resulting from any merger, sale, transfer, conversion or consolidation to
which the Seller shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Seller or (ii) more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50% or more of the economic equity of which is owned directly or indirectly by Banco
Santander, S.A. and which executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under this agreement, shall be the successor to the Seller under this Agreement, in each case, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Within thirty days following the consummation of any of the foregoing transactions in which the Seller is not the surviving entity, the Seller
shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to
preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer in the Receivables or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. 

SECTION 5.4 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others. The Seller and any officer or employee or agent of the Seller may rely
in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller will not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability. 

SECTION 5.5 Seller May Own Notes. The Seller, and any Affiliate of the Seller, may in its individual or any other capacity
become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or in the
other Transaction Documents, Notes so owned by the Seller or any such Affiliate will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, without preference, priority, or distinction as
among all of the Notes. Unless all Notes are owned by the Issuer, the Seller, any Certificateholder, the Servicer, the Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates, any Notes owned by the Issuer, the Seller, any Certificateholder, the
Servicer, the Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates shall be disregarded with respect to the determination of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, vote or waiver hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document. 
 SECTION 5.6 Sarbanes-Oxley Act Requirements. To the extent any documents are required to be filed or any
certification is required to be made with respect to the Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer and the 

  

					
		 	23	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
Seller, or either of them, to prepare, sign, certify and file any such documents or certifications on behalf of the Issuer. 

SECTION 5.7 Compliance with Organizational Documents. The Seller shall comply with its limited liability company agreement and
other organizational documents. 
 ARTICLE VI 

THE SERVICER 
 SECTION
6.1 Representations of Servicer. The Servicer makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date, on which the Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Transferred Assets. The representations and
warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the Transferred Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture: 

(a) Existence and Power. The Servicer is an Illinois corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of
organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to execute, to deliver and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party. The Servicer has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents
or affect the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets. 
 (b) Authorization and
No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Servicer and do not contravene or constitute a
default under (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any material indenture or material agreement or instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which its properties are bound, in
each case, other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, organizational documents, indentures, agreements or instruments which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in
the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by, or the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under, the Transaction Documents. 

(c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that have previously been made or approvals,
authorizations or filings that will be made on a timely basis and (iii) approval, authorizations or filings that, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or
would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 

  

					
		 	24	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership,
conservatorship or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of corporations from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity. 

(e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened
against the Servicer before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation
of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or (iv) relate to the Servicer that would materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes. 

SECTION 6.2 Indemnities of Servicer. The Servicer will be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations
specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the following: 
 (a) The Servicer will defend, indemnify
and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (including when performing its duties as Relevant Trustee) and the Seller from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, arising out of or
resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof or any sub-contractor hired by the Servicer or such Affiliate of a Financed Vehicle. 

(b) The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (including when performing
its duties as Relevant Trustee) from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person with respect to the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Transaction Documents, if any, including, without limitation,
any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege, or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer, not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the conveyance of the Receivables to
the Issuer or the issuance and original sales of the Notes, or asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables, or federal or other Applicable Tax State income taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents) and costs and expenses in defending against the same. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities due to the credit risk of the Obligors and for
which reimbursement would constitute recourse for uncollectible Receivables. 
 (c) The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (including when performing its duties as Relevant Trustee) and the Seller from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such cost,
expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Person through, the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith (other than 

  

					
		 	25	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
errors in judgment) of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or by reason of its failure to perform its
obligations or of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party; provided, however, that the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs, expenses, losses,
claims, damages or liabilities arising from its breach of any covenant for which the purchase of the affected Receivables is specified as the sole remedy pursuant to Section 3.6. 

(d) The Servicer will compensate and indemnify the Indenture Trustee (including when performing its duties as Relevant Trustee) and the Owner
Trustee to the extent and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.7 of the Indenture and Section 8.2 of the Trust Agreement, as applicable, except, with respect to the Indenture Trustee, to the extent that any cost,
expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is incurred in connection with the performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of a Successor Servicer hereunder. 

(e) Indemnification under this Section 6.2 by Santander Consumer (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.1) as
Servicer, with respect to the period such Person was the Servicer, will survive the termination of such Person as Servicer or a resignation by such Person as Servicer as well as the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the
Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee (including when performing its duties as Relevant Trustee) and will include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this
Section 6.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person will promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest. 

SECTION 6.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer. Any entity (i) into which the
Servicer may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, to which it may sell or transfer its business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole or any entity resulting from any merger, sale, transfer, conversion or
consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Servicer or (ii) of which more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50% or more of the economic equity is owned directly or
indirectly by Banco Santander, S.A. and which executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement, in each case, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 

SECTION 6.4 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. 

(a) Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer will be under any liability to the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders[, the Swap Counterparty] or the Certificateholders, except as provided under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking
of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision will not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance
or bad faith in the performance of duties or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of obligations 

  

					
		 	26	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
and duties under this Agreement, or by reason of negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (except for errors in judgment). The Servicer and any director, officer or
employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any Opinion of Counsel or on any Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or certificate of auditors believed to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party in respect of any
matters arising under this Agreement. 
 (b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer will not be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that
the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders under
this Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer. 

SECTION 6.5 Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate (a) any or all of its
duties (including, without limitation, its duties as custodian) under the Transaction Documents to any of its Affiliates or (b) specific duties (including, without limitation, its duties as custodian) to sub-contractors who are in the business
of performing such duties; provided, that no such delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and, to the
extent it is acting as Relevant Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent for its duties hereunder as if the Servicer alone were performing such duties. For any servicing activities delegated to third parties in accordance with this
Section 6.5, the Servicer shall follow such policies and procedures to monitor the performance of such third parties and compliance with such servicing activities as the Servicer follows with respect to comparable motor vehicle
receivables serviced by the Servicer for its own account. 
 SECTION 6.6 Santander Consumer Not to Resign as Servicer. Subject
to the provisions of Sections 6.3 and 6.5, Santander Consumer will not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination that the performance of its duties under this
Agreement is no longer permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of Santander Consumer will be communicated to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such
communication is not in writing, will be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination will be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee concurrently with
or promptly after such notice. No such resignation will become effective until a successor Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of Santander Consumer as Servicer. 

SECTION 6.7 Servicer May Own Notes. The Servicer, and any Affiliate of the Servicer, may, in its individual or any other
capacity, become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein
or in the other Transaction Documents, Notes so owned by or pledged to the Servicer or such Affiliate will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of
the Notes.

 ARTICLE VII 

TERMINATION OF SERVICER 

SECTION 7.1 Termination of Servicer. 

(a) If a Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Noteholders
representing at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by notice given to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator and the Noteholders [and the Swap Counterparty], terminate the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In the event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Receivables, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor Servicer. Upon the
Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination, such Servicer will continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in such termination
notice, until receipt of such notice. If a successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the outgoing Servicer ceases to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action will automatically be
appointed the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee, if it is legally unable or is unwilling to so act, will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer. Any successor
Servicer shall be an established institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of comparable motor vehicle receivables having an aggregate outstanding principal amount of not less than
$50,000,000. 
 (b) Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may waive any Servicer
Replacement Event. Upon any such waiver, such Servicer Replacement Event shall cease to exist and be deemed not to have occurred, and any Servicer Replacement Event arising therefrom shall be deemed not to have occurred for every purpose of this
Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Servicer Replacement Event or impair any right consequent thereto. 

(c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts at its own expense to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the servicing of the Receivables to a successor Servicer. 
 (d) Upon the effectiveness of the assumption by the successor
Servicer of its duties pursuant to this Section 7.1, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables, and shall be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as Servicer, including indemnification obligations as set forth in
Section 6.2(e). In such event, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such termination and replacement of the Servicer, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related
documents, or otherwise. No Servicer 

  

					
		 	28	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
shall resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of the Receivables, until a newly appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the resigning or terminated Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the
Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein. 

(e) In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of the successor Servicer out
of Available Funds as it and such successor Servicer will agree; provided, however, that no such compensation will be in excess of the amount paid to the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement. 

SECTION 7.2 Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to
this Article VII, the Indenture Trustee will give prompt written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and to the Noteholders at their respective addresses of record. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 OPTIONAL
PURCHASE 
 SECTION 8.1 Optional Purchase of Trust Estate. The Servicer shall have the right at its option (the
“Optional Purchase”) to purchase the Trust Estate (other than the Reserve Account) from the Issuer on any Payment Date if both of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) as of the last day of the related Collection Period,
the Pool Balance has declined to 10% or less of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date, and (ii) the sum of the Optional Purchase Price and the Available Funds for such Payment Date would be sufficient to pay (A) the Servicing Fee for
such Payment Date and all unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to prior periods, (B) interest then due on the Notes and (C) the aggregate unpaid Note Balance of all of the Outstanding Notes [plus all amounts owing to the Swap Counterparty as
of the Redemption Date]. To exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit, subject to Section 4.5, the Optional Purchase Price into the Collection Account on the Redemption Date. The Servicer shall furnish written notice of its

SECTION 9.1 Amendment. 

(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller and the Servicer, without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any

(when so directed by an Issuer Request), with the consent of the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any

SECTION 9.2 Protection of Title. 

(a) The Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation and other statements,
all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement in the Receivables (other than any Related Security with respect
thereto, to the extent that the interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Issuer file-stamped copies of, or filing
receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. 
 (b) Neither the Seller nor the Servicer
shall change its name, identity, organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller in accordance with paragraph (a) above
“seriously misleading” within the meaning of Sections 9-506, 9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it (i) shall have given the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior written

		 	31	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
delivered to the Indenture Trustee within 30 days after such change an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation
statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer in the Receivables or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to
preserve and protect such interest. 
 (c) The Seller shall give the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior written
notice of any change of location of the Seller for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC and shall have taken all action prior to making such change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action
substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not practicable to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary or advisable to amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph
(a) above. 
 (d) The Servicer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain) in accordance with its Customary
Servicing Practices accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing
(and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of such Receivable. 

(e) The Servicer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain) its computer systems so that, from time to time after the
conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables, the master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the
Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders pursuant to the Indenture. Indication of the Issuer’s and the Indenture Trustee’s interest in a Receivable shall not be deleted from or modified on such
computer systems until, and only until, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased. 
 (f) If at any time the
Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or
other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the
Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders. 
 SECTION 9.3 Other Liens or Interests.
Except for the conveyances and grants of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or other property transferred to the Issuer to any
other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Receivables and other property transferred to the Issuer
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller. 

  

					
		 	32	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 SECTION 9.4 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest. 

(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and
absolute sales, transfers, assignments and conveyances rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that the Receivables and
related Transferred Assets shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller. The sales and transfers by the Seller of Receivables and related Transferred Assets hereunder are and shall be without
recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against the Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach of
representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the collectability of the Receivables. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other Transferred Assets are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in the
Receivables and other Transferred Assets, then it is intended that: 
  

	 	(i)	This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; 


 

	 	(ii)	The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Issuer, a security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey
title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and other Transferred Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder; 


 

	 	(iii)	The possession by the Issuer, or the Servicer as the Issuer’s agent, of the Receivable Files and any other property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
“possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and


  

	 	(iv)	Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. 


SECTION 9.5 Information Requests. The parties hereto shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Servicer, the
Issuer, the Seller or any of their Affiliates,

Schedule I hereto or at such other address as shall be designated in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address
of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices
hereunder; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice. 

SECTION 9.7 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL, SUBSTANTIVE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 
 SECTION 9.8 Headings. The section
headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 SECTION 9.10
Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right hereunder) shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle it to any
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by any party hereto under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval
under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.11
Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties
hereto with respect to 

  

					
		 	34	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
the subject matter thereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings. There are no unwritten agreements among the parties. 

SECTION 9.12 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement
shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity
or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.13 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in
full force and effect until such time as the parties hereto shall agree. 
 SECTION 9.14 Acknowledgment and Agreement. By
execution below, the Seller expressly acknowledges and consents to the pledge, assignment and Grant of a security interest in the Receivables, the other Transferred Assets and the Issuer’s rights under this Agreement by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders [and the Swap Counterparty]. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will have the
right to exercise all powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer under this Agreement in the event that the Issuer shall fail to exercise the same. 

SECTION 9.15 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.17 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally: 

  

					
		 	35	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the

the 5th Business Day after the last day of each calendar month, provide notice to the Seller and the Servicer (each, a “Santander Party” and, collectively, the “Santander Parties”), in a form to be mutually agreed
upon by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, of the request or any requests of (i) all demands communicated to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee for the repurchase or replacement of any Receivable for breach of the
representations and warranties concerning such Receivable and (ii) any actions taken by the Indenture Trustee with respect to such demand communicated to the Indenture Trustee in respect of any Receivables. In addition, the Indenture Trustee
shall, upon written request of either Santander Party, at any time such Santander Party reasonably feels necessary, provide notification to the Santander Parties with respect to any actions taken by the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable and
in any event within five Business Days of receipt of such request. 
 SECTION 9.22 Form 8-K Filings. Each of the Indenture
Trustee and the Servicer shall promptly notify the Seller, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after its occurrence, of any Reportable Event of which the Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual
knowledge (other than a Reportable Event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof as to which the Seller or the Servicer has actual knowledge). Each Person shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of any such event
to the extent that it relates to such Person or any action or failure to act by such Person. 
 SECTION 9.23 Relevant Trustee.
Following the payment in full of principal of, and interest on, the Notes, the Certificate Paying Agent shall assume the role of Relevant Trustee hereunder and shall perform the obligations of the Relevant Trustee set forth herein. At least five
(5) Business Days prior to the final payment in full of principal of, and interest on, the 

  

					
		 	38	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
Notes, the Servicer shall deliver a written notification to the Certificate Paying Agent, which notice shall set forth the date upon which the Certificate Paying Agent will assume the role of
Relevant Trustee (the “Assumption Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations and duties of the Certificate Paying Agent as Relevant Trustee under the Transaction Documents shall be limited to the express duties of the
Relevant Trustee, and shall not be deemed to include any duty or obligation of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, or any other Person. In the performance of its obligations as Relevant Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent shall be entitled to all
of the same rights, protections, indemnities and immunities as the Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, which rights, protections, indemnities and immunities are incorporated herein by reference. The parties hereby agree to amend the Transaction
Documents prior to the Assumption Date to provide for such terms and conditions as may be necessary or desirable in connection with the assumption of the role of Relevant Trustee by the Certificate Paying Agent. 

SECTION 9.24 Dispute Resolution. 

(a) If the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee (in its discretion or at the direction of a Certificateholder pursuant to the Trust
Agreement) or the Indenture Trustee (in its discretion or at the direction of a Noteholder or Note Owner pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Indenture) (the “Requesting Party”) requests that Santander Consumer repurchase any
Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement (the party or parties requested to repurchase a receivable, the “Requested Party” or “Requested Parties”) and the repurchase request has not
been fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Party within 180 days of the receipt of notice of the request by Santander Consumer, the Requesting Party will have the right to refer the matter, at its
discretion, to either mediation or arbitration pursuant to this Section 9.24. If the Requesting Party is the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee acting at the direction of a Noteholder, Note Owner, or Certificateholder, as applicable,
the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, as Requesting Party, will act at the direction of such Noteholder, Note Owner, or Certificateholder in making all decisions related to mediation or arbitration. Santander Consumer will inform
the Requesting Party in writing upon a determination by Santander Consumer that a Receivable subject to a demand to repurchase will be repurchased and the monthly distribution report filed by the Seller on Form 10-D for the Collection Period in
which such Receivables were repurchased will include disclosure of such repurchase. A failure of Santander Consumer to inform the requesting party that a Receivable subject to a demand will be repurchased within 180 days of the
receipt of notice of the request shall be deemed to be a determination by Santander Consumer that no repurchase of that Receivable due to a breach of Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement is required. For purposes of this proceeding
sentence, a repurchase request shall be deemed to be resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Party if an Asset Review has been completed with respect to the Receivables underlying such request and the findings and conclusions of
the Asset Representations Reviewer found no Test Fails with respect to those Receivables. If both the Owner Trustee (on behalf of one or more Certificateholders) and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of one or more Noteholders) are Requesting
Parties, then the Indenture Trustee as Requesting Party shall have the right to make the selection of mediation or arbitration. If more than one Noteholder or Note Owner has directed the Indenture Trustee in connection with a request to pursue
dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 9.24, the Indenture Trustee shall act 

  

					
		 	39	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
at the direction of the Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, holding a majority of the Note Balance of the Notes held by such directing Noteholders and/or Note Owners. 

(b) The Requesting Party will provide notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 of its intention to refer the matter

selected by the Requesting Party to the extent such Person is a Requested Party. The Requested Party shall provide notice to the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee that the Requested Party has received a request to
mediate or arbitrate a repurchase request. Upon receipt of such notice, the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall advise the Requesting Party and Requested Party of an intent to join in the mediation or arbitration,

of an ongoing or previous mediation or arbitration (whether by that Requesting Party or another Requesting Party) but will have the right, subject to a determination by the parties to the existing mediation or arbitration that such joinder would not
prejudice the rights of the participants to such existing mediation or arbitration or unduly delay such proceeding, to join an existing mediation or arbitration with respect to that Receivable if the mediation or arbitration has not yet concluded.
In the case of any such joinder, if the initial Requesting Party is (i) the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of one or more Noteholders or Note Owners), any decisions related to the mediation or arbitration will be made by the Indenture Trustee on
behalf of the Requesting Party holding a majority of the Note Balance of all of the Outstanding Notes and (ii) the Owner Trustee (on behalf of one or more Certificateholders), any decisions related to the mediation or arbitration will be made
by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Requesting Party holding the majority of the voting interests of the Certificates outstanding. 
 (c)
If the Requesting Party selects mediation as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply: 
 (i) The mediation
will be administered by [a nationally recognized arbitration and mediation association] [one of [identify acceptable options]] selected by [the Requesting Party] pursuant to such association’s mediation procedures in effect at such time. 

(ii) The fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation. 

(iii) The mediator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York that are
relevant to the repurchase dispute and will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). 

(d) If the Requesting Party selects arbitration as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply: 

  

					
		 	40	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 (i) The arbitration will be administered by [a nationally recognized arbitration
and mediation association] [one of [identify acceptable options]] jointly selected by the parties, and if the parties are unable to agree on an association, by the AAA, and conducted pursuant to such association’s arbitration procedures in
effect at such time. 
 (ii) The arbitrator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State
of New York that are relevant to the dispute hereunder and will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by AAA. 

(iii) The arbitrator will make its final determination no later than [90] days after appointment or as soon as practicable
thereafter. The arbitrator will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and may not modify or change this Agreement in any way. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in
any arbitration conducted by it[, and the Requested Party shall not be required to pay more than the applicable Repurchase Amount with respect to any receivable which such Requested Party is required to repurchase under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable]. In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and
administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the
parties. The determination may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (iv) No person may bring a putative or
certified class action to arbitration. 
 (e) The following provisions will apply to both mediations and arbitrations: 

(i) Any mediation or arbitration will be held in [New York, New York] or such other location mutually agreed to by the
Requesting Party and the Requested Parties; 
 (ii) Notwithstanding this dispute resolution provision, the parties will have
the right to seek provisional relief from a competent court of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, provided such relief would otherwise be available by law; 

(iii) The details and/or existence of any unfulfilled repurchase request, any meetings or discussions regarding any unfulfilled
repurchase request, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 10.13, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to resolve an
unfulfilled repurchase request, any information exchanged in connection with any mediation, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration (collectively, “Confidential Information”), shall be and remain confidential and
inadmissible (except disclosures required by Applicable Law) for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 9.24) other than as
required to be disclosed 

  

					
		 	41	 	Sale and Servicing Agreement (20[  ]-[  ])









 
in accordance with applicable law, regulatory requirements, or court order or to the extent that the Requested Party, in its sole discretion, elects to disclose such information. Such information
will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed with any third party,, and except that a party may disclose such information to its own attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives (collectively
“Representatives”), as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 9.24, and the Asset Representations Reviewer, if an Asset Review has been conducted), if the disclosing Party
(a) directs such Representatives to keep the information confidential, (b) is responsible for any disclosure by its Representatives of such information and (c) takes at its sole expense all reasonable measures to restrain such
Representatives from disclosing such information. If any party receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for Confidential Information, the recipient will promptly notify the
other party and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its Confidential Information or seek other appropriate protective remedies, consistent with the applicable requirements of law and regulation. If, in
the absence of a protective order, such party or any of its representatives are compelled as a matter of law, regulation, legal process or by regulatory authority to disclose any portion of the Confidential Information, such party may disclose to
the party compelling disclosure only the part of such Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed. 
 SECTION 9.25
Cooperation with Voting. Each of Santander Consumer, the Seller and the Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee to facilitate any vote by the Instituting Noteholders pursuant to the terms
of Section 7.6 of the Indenture.

 General 

1. The Sale and Servicing Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables and the other

applicable Originator (or its assignee), as secured party, or all necessary actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the
applicable Originator (or its assignee), as secured party. 
 Creation

Priority 
 8. Neither the Seller nor
Santander Consumer has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against either the Seller or Santander Consumer that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement
